We are making pom poms to top our deeley bobbers. Begin by wrapping the yarn around the foamcore. You will need to do so about 35 times.

Step 3:

When finished cut the end of the yarn. Slide the yarn off of the foamcore. Instead of using string for these pom poms we are using pipe cleaners. Make a U out of your pipe cleaner. Lay it on either sided of the yarn bundle.

Step 4:

Keep the yarn as tightly bundled as possible and seal the yarn by twisting your pipe cleaner. Twist it as tightly as possible.

Step 5:

Cut all of the yarn loops.

Step 6:

Use your scissors to shape the pom pom into a sphere.

Step 7:

Twist your pipe cleaners together to create a stem. Twist until you have about 1 1.2 inch of pipe cleaner left un-twisted.

Step 8:

Slide your pony beads over both ends of the pipe cleaner and push them to the top. Create a red, white and blue pattern of beads on your stem.

Step 9:

Twist the pipe cleaners around the headband.

Step 10:

Twist them tightly so they are firmly attached.

Step 11:

Use some more red yarn to cover the white pipe cleaner. Start with a dab if glue and wrap the yarn around the entire headband.
